tommy7840 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Has anyone got any ideas or have any experience of pulling up horse netting the 4 foot high wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post Driver Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Pulls up fine with a 4ft clamp and chain strainers. Tornado clamp works well. On longer strains it helps to have it stood upright ready. Couple of posts spaced out with the pointed end stuck through the netting and the butt end stamped into the ground at 45°. Terminating the stuff is the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliehub Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 We do a lot of horse net and changing over to the torus net from the hinge joint has made the job a lot easier as it stands up on its own with just a few clicks of the strainers, the torus rolls also come with pre stripped ends which makes tieing off a lot easier, must admit I tend to use gripple T-clips on the ends as so much easier than tieing off 12 /13 tails at once, they work well as long as you give them a tweak with the tool once the net is under tension as this pulls them tight around the strainer and it's also best to clip them on on a straight line and not one with the crimp in as they can pop off while you are staring to tension the net. You will need a set of 4ft clamps apart from that it's same as stock net really .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbell Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 pretty much the same as every one else, but instead of T clips we tie 2.5mil plain wires then crimp them to the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholsonsforestry Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 As Robbell make up loops with 2.5 mill ht and crimp, works well, neat and tidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy7840 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 thanks for the tips very useful!! The wire we have is the torus and it looks good stuff.We havent got a 4 ft clamp so we were going to try bolting two pieces of angle iron up together and running a chain from either end.I will know tomorow if it works okay .

Mr T Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yup same as Rob crimp on plain to save stripping verticals when roll is cut rather than the pre stripped ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
